Temporary Footprints

You might thinking, “Dusty feet are gross,” and actually I agree. After I’ve taken a neighborhood stroll, or otherwise been out shoeless, I can’t wait to get home and get clean. I don’t like the appearance or feeling. It’s like getting your hands dirty accomplishing some task, but you don’t want necessarily to look that way for very long.

But from another perspective: it’s pleasant to enjoy the day as you gain peaceful tactile memories through your soles and interact with other folks in this humble way. The humorous, necessary result, so reminiscent of childhood adventures, is a temporary footprint upon your own feet—-something you can laugh at yourself about and quickly wash away.
